Worst Reasons to Hate a Video Game

Some people have pretty pathetic reasons for hating video games. Here are some of them.

The Top Ten

1Everyone else hates it

Having your own opinion is a far cry from adopting somebody else's. It's not easy to know what a game will be like to play until you try it out for yourself! - Entranced98

Don't let others influence your opinions.

Seriously? - DWisawesomethe3rd

2It came out years ago

Some retro video games have such great gameplay that they still feel fresh today, and even a few modern games surely have plenty of qualities that won't age. Plus, we can't stop time, so why should it stop our appreciation of things? - Entranced98

So Minecraft's fandom is cancerous like Undertale's is.Both get bad reps, but are good games.That's terrible! Why do fandoms ruin everything...? - mattstat716

4It isn't 100% politically correct

This should be at the top. The politically correct people would be the ones complaining that a game doesn't suit their taste, then when the developer does something according to what they said, they are still not pleased. - NuMetalManiak

5Someone you hate likes it

6It's too difficult for you, but not for others

There's no excuse to not practice some similar, easier games from the same genre first. I remember getting absolutely nowhere with shmups a while ago, but I tried Pop 'n Twinbee (which is fairly easy for a shmup-type game) to learn the ropes - I started to get much better at them and move on to the much more difficult Darius Gaiden. For pretty much any genre, working your way up from the bottom is a much more smooth and motivating approach than throwing yourself straight in the deep end. - Entranced98

7The characters aren't hot

Good gameplay is more important than attractive characters. Can't believe people actually hate games for this reason.

8It has mediocre or bad graphics

Favouring graphics over everything else is in fact one of the worst issues that has plagued modern video games. I appreciate the effort that has gone into graphics, but they shouldn't cast a shadow over gameplay. I'd much rather play a good game with awful graphics than a terrible game with amazing HD graphics any day. - Entranced98

Okay it may look like crap, but what if it plays great then what are you going to say next? - htoutlaws2012

A game with mediocre graphics could still have amazing gameplay, story and music.

9It is low budget

What counts most is the effort and passion put into making a game that plays beautifully. How much money goes into it doesn't matter as long as it's enjoyable, challenging and user-friendly. - Entranced98

A game that is low budget could still be amazing; a game that is high budget could still be awful.

10It isn't available for your console

The Contenders

11It was made in a foreign country

This is just racist.

12It has annoying music

Not a reason to hate the entire game. If you dislike it, just turn the music off and play something of your liking.

Looping music over and over is the difference, but not 75% of the time. - htoutlaws2012

13It isn't in English

14It was made by Nintendo

This has Xbox fans written all over it.

15It isn't rated M by ESRB

Enough of this.

16No guns

17It has a thin plot

18There are a few bad characters

19The graphics aren't realistic

20It's your enemy's favorite

21It's your friend's least favorite

22It's for kids

23Adults play it

24The main character isn't your gender

25The characters' species

26It's new

27The music doesn't have singing in it

28It contains animal characters

29The character roster

MK8 Hater: Mario Kart 8 stinks, it has Pink Gold Peach and a bunch of Babies and Koopalings.Me:...SO...HECKING...WHAT!?

30Too easy

I've seen this numerous times in the Pokémon Community, and it really needs to stop.
